Answer to Question 1

B
Response:
Mild persistent asthma is associated with symptoms occurring more than twice a week but less than once a day, nighttime symptoms occurring three or four times per month, an FEV 80 or more of predicted values, and minor limitations in normal activity. Intermittent asthma is characterized by symptoms occurring once or twice a week, nighttime symptoms occurring once or twice per month, FEV 80 or more of predicted values, and no limitations in normal activity. Moderate persistent asthma is characterized by symptoms occurring daily, nighttime symptoms occurring more than once a week but not nightly, FEV 60 to 80 of predicted values, and some limitations in normal activity. Severe persistent asthma is characterized by symptoms occurring throughout the day, nighttime symptoms occurring as often as 7 times per week, FEV less than 60 of predicted values, and extremely limited activity level.

Answer to Question 2

D
Response:
When weighing perineal pads to determine blood loss, 1 gram of pad weight is equivalent to 1 mL of blood loss. A pad that weighs 20 g would indicate a 20-mL blood loss.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
